Japan is increasingly focusing on customizing electric car offerings to cater to diverse consumer lifestyles and driving preferences

  • The electric vehicle (EV) market in Japan is experiencing significant growth, driven by the country's efforts to reduce oil imports and minimize environmental impact. Japan's government has set ambitious goals, aiming for all new cars sold in the country to be electric or hybrid by 2050. This aligns with a global shift toward sustainable transportation, placing Japan as a pivotal player in the Asia-Pacific EV market. The market's expansion is evident in its value, which is expected to reach USD 43.32 billion in 2024, with a robust growth rate projected through 2029, highlighting Japan's commitment to transitioning toward electric mobility​​​​.
  • Hatchbacks and sedans, being more common in urban settings due to their compact size and efficiency, have a significant share. Meanwhile, SUVs are gaining popularity for their versatility and comfort, appealing to a broader audience seeking both performance and sustainability. The market's composition reflects a diverse consumer preference, leaning toward a mix of practicality and eco-friendliness in vehicle choice.
  • However, the expansion of Japan's EV market faces challenges, notably in charging infrastructure and regulatory hurdles. The number of charging stations has seen a decline due to high installation and operational costs, exacerbated by stringent safety regulations for high-output chargers. This situation underscores the need for substantial investments in infrastructure to support the growing number of EVs. Despite these challenges, opportunities abound, especially with Japan's push toward digital transformation and IoT connectivity in the automotive sector.

Japan Electric Car Market Trends

Japan's electric vehicle market grows gradually due to government and industry partnerships

  • The electric vehicle industry in Japan is growing gradually, and the government's norms and targets to electrify all new car sales by 2035 are shifting the country toward electric mobility. Moreover, government efforts in terms of subsidies and rebates are driving the country's electric vehicle market. In November 2021, the government of Japan announced that it would provide subsidies on electric vehicles, i.e., up to USD 7200 per vehicle. However, hybrid vehicles are not included in the subsidy program. Such factors contribute to the growth of electric vehicles (passenger cars) by 11.11% in 2022 over 2021.
  • Various companies are signing partnerships and ventures to enhance electric mobility in various sectors across Japan. In June 2022, the technology company Sony and the Japanese automaker Honda signed a joint venture to work on electric mobility together. The objective of the venture is to produce and sell electric cars in Japan by 2025. Moreover, Honda has announced the launch of 30 electric vehicles and the production of 2 million vehicles annually by 2030. Each company has invested approximately USD 37.52 million in the venture. Such factors are expected to impact electric mobility positively.
  • In April 2022, the US-based automaker General Motors announced an expand its partnership with Honda to produce electric vehicles. As part of the expansion, the companies will develop new affordable electric vehicles, including cars. The production of the vehicles is expected to start in early 2027. Moreover, such international expansions are expected to develop new designs and enhanced cars, which further is expected to raise the sales of electric cars During the 2024-2030 period in Japan, which will also accelerate the demand for battery packs across Japan.

Market Definition

  • Vehicle Type - The category includes passenger cars.
  • Vehicle Body Type - This include various body types such as Hatchbacks, Sedans, Sports Utility Vehicles, and Multi-purpose Vehicles.
  • Fuel Category - The category exclusively covers electric propulsion systems, including various types such as HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles), BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles), and FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles).
Keyword Definition
Electric Vehicle (EV) A vehicle which uses one or more electric motors for propulsion. Includes cars, buses, and trucks. This term includes all-electric vehicles or battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
BEV A BEV relies completely on a battery and a motor for propulsion. The battery in the vehicle must be charged by plugging it into an outlet or public charging station. BEVs do not have an ICE and hence are pollution-free. They have a low cost of operation and reduced engine noise as compared to conventional fuel engines. However, they have a shorter range and higher prices than their equivalent gasoline models.
PEV A plug-in electric vehicle is an electric vehicle that can be externally charged and generally includes all-electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids.
Plug-in Hybrid EV A vehicle that can be powered either by an ICE or an electric motor. In contrast to normal hybrid EVs, they can be charged externally.
Internal combustion engine An engine in which the burning of fuels occurs in a confined space called a combustion chamber. Usually run with gasoline/petrol or diesel.
Hybrid EV A vehicle powered by an ICE in combination with one or more electric motors that use energy stored in batteries. These are continually recharged with power from the ICE and regenerative braking.
Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles are motorized road vehicles designed for transporting people or goods. The category includes light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and medium and heavy-duty vehicles (M&HCV).
Passenger Vehicles Passenger cars are electric motor– or engine-driven vehicles with at least four wheels. These vehicles are used for the transport of passengers and comprise no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.
Light Commercial Vehicles Commercial vehicles that weigh less than 6,000 lb (Class 1) and in the range of 6,001–10,000 lb (Class 2) are covered under this category.
M&HDT Commercial vehicles that weigh in the range of 10,001–14,000 lb (Class 3), 14,001–16,000 lb (Class 4), 16,001–19,500 lb (Class 5), 19,501–26,000 lb (Class 6), 26,001–33,000 lb (Class 7) and above 33,001 lb (Class 8) are covered under this category.
Bus A mode of transportation that typically refers to a large vehicle designed to carry passengers over long distances. This includes transit bus, school bus, shuttle bus, and trolleybuses.
Diesel It includes vehicles that use diesel as their primary fuel. A diesel engine vehicle have a compression-ignited injection system rather than the spark-ignited system used by most gasoline vehicles. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and ignited by the high temperature achieved when gas is greatly compressed.
Gasoline It includes vehicles that use gas/petrol as their primary fuel. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. In such vehicles, fuel is injected into either the intake manifold or the combustion chamber, where it is combined with air, and the air/fuel mixture is ignited by the spark from a spark plug.
LPG It includes vehicles that use LPG as their primary fuel. Both dedicated and bi-fuel LPG vehicles are considered under the scope of the study.
CNG It includes vehicles that use CNG as their primary fuel. These are vehicles that operate like gasoline-powered vehicles with spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
HEV All the electric vehicles that use batteries and an internal combustion engine (ICE) as their primary source for propulsion are considered under this category. HEVs generally use a diesel-electric powertrain and are also known as hybrid diesel-electric vehicles. An HEV converts the vehicle momentum (kinetic energy) into electricity that recharges the battery when the vehicle slows down or stops. The battery of HEV cannot be charged using plug-in devices.
PHEV PHEVs are powered by a battery as well as an ICE. The battery can be charged through either regenerative breaking using the ICE or by plugging into some external charging source. PHEVs have a better range than BEVs but are comparatively less eco-friendly.
Hatchback These are compact-sized cars with a hatch-type door provided at the rear end.
Sedan These are usually two- or four-door passenger cars, with a separate area provided at the rear end for luggage.
SUV Popularly known as SUVs, these cars come with four-wheel drive, and usually have high ground clearance. These cars can also be used as off-road vehicles.
MPV These are multi-purpose vehicles (also called minivans) designed to carry a larger number of passengers. They carry between five and seven people and have room for luggage too. They are usually taller than the average family saloon car, to provide greater headroom and ease of access, and they are usually front-wheel drive.
